According to WEEI’s Kirk Minihane, Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will start Sunday against the Bills. Garoppolo suffered a reported sprained AC joint in his right shoulder the second quarter of the Week 2 win over the Dolphins, but didn’t play last week against the Texans. Sunday would be two weeks from suffering the injury. The quarterback was limited in practice all week and officially listed as questionable. Last week, he was listed as doubtful. “It’s coming along,” Garoppolo said Wednesday. “Day-by-day right now, trying to get to the best of my ability on Sunday,” he said. “Just trying to get better every day, That’s all that you can ask for with this. … We’re just taking it day-by-day, really.” Jacoby Brissett started last week in his place and injured his thumb. He too was limited all week and listed as questionable. (WEEI)

Fantasy Impact:

Fantasy owners and fans may not officially know who the starter is between Garoppolo and Brissett until 90 minutes before game time. Coach Bill Belichick will want to keep the Buffalo Bills guessing and will not reveal his hand. Garoppolo would have the advantage of Brissett in starting if both suit up for the game and can play.
